1ST GIFT FROM A BOY!

Weeks ago I mentioned how I was not interested in dating the "part-time drag queen" Latino guy, "Pablo" as I named him. Well, we're still seeing each other, albeit on a fairly limited basis, as his school/work schedule is kicking his ass.

At the time, I decided I didn't want to date him, but over the last few weeks, he's proven to be such a nice and sweet guy. Case in point, he came over last night and presented me with an early Christmas present: an Aveda skin care gift set along with a $20 gift certificate to use at a salon (next haircut will not cost $7 and/or be performed by a Jordanian man).

Pretty neat! I was taken aback, as no other guy I dated really ever gave me a "real" present (except a b/j or buying me drinks, or dinner). He's so fun to cuddle with too; last night we laid in bed and watched an episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and proceeded to get down! I even smoked a cigarette in my bedroom after we cleaned up (which I NEVER do).

I slept like a baby, which sucked when his alarm went off at 7AM, stealing from me not only his embrace, but the most awesome dream I ever had - which of course eludes me at this moment. Still, waking up in such a good mood was a seriously awesome feeling.

Sigh. So life isn't so shitty after all! And we have a movie date planned for Sunday afternoon. WOOT!
